TCS payment on the 7th

The 2026 calendar lists a TCS deposit on the 7th, for tax collected in the previous month. 7 October 2026 has passed. 7 November 2026 has not. This is not the TDS return. The office is at 515 Trichy Road, Singanallur.

Quick answer

This page explains the TCS row on the 2026 tax calendar. The quarterly TDS return stays on the TDS dates page. Do not send the income-tax password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the 7th is

The row is for a person who collected tax at source. The deposit on the 7th is the tax collected in the previous month, so the 7 November challan is for October. Whether you have to collect, and the rate, are confirmed before a challan is made. Neither figure is copied onto this page. A holiday can move the date by a day or two. Confirm it on the income-tax portal.

What it is not

The calendar also lists a TDS deposit on the 7th. Tax deducted is not tax collected. The quarterly TDS return is a later filing, explained on the quarterly TDS page. A marketplace can deduct GST TCS from an online seller. That credit is matched on the e-commerce GST page, against the GST liability. It is not this income-tax deposit.

If the deposit is late

Interest and late fees depend on the delay. The amount is the one the portal shows. It is not stated on this page. The statement, when the portal asks for one, is confirmed before it is filed. This page is the monthly deposit.

Before the challan is made

  1. Send the collection list for the previous month.
  2. The desk confirms whether TCS applies and which 7th is still open.
  3. You approve the challan before it is made.
  4. The receipt is shared after the portal accepts the payment.

The work is quoted before a challan is made. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.

Common questions

Has the 7 October 2026 deposit passed?

Yes. The next rows the calendar lists are 7 November and 7 December 2026. 7 November has not passed. Confirm the date on the income-tax portal. A holiday can move it by a day or two.

Is this the quarterly TDS return?

No. The TDS deposit is also on the 7th, and the quarterly TDS return is a different filing. TCS is tax collected, not tax deducted.

Is this the TCS an online marketplace deducts?

No. A marketplace can deduct GST TCS from a seller and that credit is matched to the GST return. This page is the income-tax deposit of TCS the collector gathered.
